Hardly, I have every single album she made between 1967 & 1974 & a good few others. I don't need a film to tell me she was the greatest of all time.

 

Still gutted today, the World is a poorer place without Aretha.

It's obvious she was a fantastically talented singer but her music didn't do much for me.

It's like when I was watching that documentary '20 feet from stardom' those singers were superbly talented but their music was not something I'd listen to other than the sixties Phil Spector type stuff. The backing singers were mostly much more talented than the 'stars' when it came to performing but just didn't have that 'je ne sais quoi.'
